Boom!
Watch Carolina grow.
just a freshman busting.
Only two weeks, and then?
The diem fatalem approaches.
Baseball prospects are fine, aren't
they ?
Basket ball practice is being held
regularly at 5 p. m., and it looks good,
too.
Let us turn out in full force and in
our best for Founder's Day. The eyes
of the State are on you, student.
As Tiin Gai%cocK goes to press,
we learn of the compliment paid to
Dr. Wauchope by the University of
Virginia. Hats off to you, doctor.
THE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION
COURSES.
There has been no reform instituted
here in many a (lay, which has been
and ever will be so beneficial to our
institution as that of the University
extension courses. TIhere is a cultural
quality, which, however much one may
attend lectures in the class-roomn, that
cannot be obtained. Thue editor has
been in formed, and the in formation
has been sublstantiated b)y observation,
that some professors force the men in
their particular branches to attend
these lecttires. Nowv, if this be true,
it is unjust, for if a man attend these
lectures, he can very seldom, if ever,
get back to work before ten o'clock,
which is just one-half an hour before
the suggested retiring hour. This
does not refer to the lectures, which
have always been a direct p)art of the
course, b)ut rather this newly instituted
course. We hope that this will be
looked into, and if it is true, remedied,
A NECESSITY. .
Time after time in past issues of
this paper have we asked-nay, even
implored, the authorities to keep the
library open until at least 11 o'clock
at night. This we (lid because we had
heard the expressions of many upon
the subject, and because we know that
the whol' student body was heartily
desirous of such a plan. The reasons
have been given again and again, and
are too obvious to be repeated. All
our entreaties and supplication, how
ever, came to naught. So far as we
know, they were not even considered,
and so in time we became thoroughly
tired of waging a fight that brought
no results, and gave up the contest,
discouraged. But we have decided to
enter one last plea in the hope that it
may be granted in time to do, even this
late, a world of good. The request is
this: That we be allowed the use of
the library until 11 o'clock during the
two short weeks of examinations. It
is a little request, but means much to
many: During exams it is "master
this book tonight, or never." Why is
the library always filled at nights with
boys, when they have a comfortable
room inl which they may study? It is
simply because they, for some reason,
cannot do satisfactory work in their
own room and are seeking a better
place. If this is true ordinarily, how
much more true is it during exams?
THE LEGISLATURE.
Ere Tim. GANIFcocK makes it's de
but for 1910, the city will be crowded
with the wise solons, who make our
laws. The Legislature will have con
venled.
It is customary for Tim, GAMHCOCK,
at this time of the year, to call the
attention of the student body to the
preseice of the Legislature in the city,
so that they might treat the members
of the Legislature with proper cour
tesy and conduct themselves in the
presence of the members in such a way
as to reflect honor and credit upon the
University.
The Legislature has done a lot for
us. In the last year or two they have
given us two magnificent new build
ings, one of which is today to have the
corner-stone laid, and the other to be
dedicated. with proper exercises. Both
are monuments to the cause of educa
tion. Tihey have beei good to us in
the past, but we want them to be better
to us inl the future. This coming
year we will need appropriations for
many new improvements, so as to en
able the University to expand and
grow. What wve will get, what they
will give to us, depends in a large part
tipon1 your condulct and actions in the
presence of and toward the memb)ers
of the Legislature. When they come
upon the campus (many of them,
p)robab)ly, old Carolina men), to look
around and see what the University is
dloing, you take an interest in answver
ing their questions and showing them
arouind the different points of intercst.
Showv thenm our needs. Show them
the newv huildlings erected by their ap
propriations. It will make them feel
good, and it will (10 goodl to its. Treat
them courteoutsly on the campus.
In the legislative halls, where, no
doubt many of you wvill spend your
leisure time, you will meet the nmem
b)ers of the Legaure a come in
contact with them. You can do us
nuch good by proper conduct on such
occasions.
This is just a little reminder. "A
word to the wise is sufficient." On all
occasion, be attentive to the legisla
tive members, and you will see that it
will Work for our interest.
Fresh Win the Cup.
TiiE GAMECOCK must offer apolo
gies to* its readers foi publishing this
game at such a late date, but the paper
has not been published since this game
was played., on account of the Christ
mas holidays, and hence we could not
give an account of it. As our able
Editor-in-Chief has said, "TiHiE GAME
COCK is to be a complete record of the
events which occur at the University,"
and should we not give- a short notice
of this game the record would be in
complete.
The Freshmen defeated the Junior
football team on Saturday, December
18th, by a score of 16 to 0. This was
the championship game, and hence
was hard fought throughout. The
first year men easily carried the ball
through the Junior's line from the
middlepof the field for a touchdown,
Riley carrying it over. White failed
to kick goal. The second touchdown
was made by Graydon in the first half
also, and White kicked a clean goal.
The second half was not as easy for
the Fresh team as the first, and they
made only one touchdown, Graydon
crossing it over again.
The backs of the Freshmen played
a spectacular game, while the ends
starred for the Juniors.
This is the first time that the first
year men have won the championship
in six years, and they should justly
feel proud of their victory.
Going Home.
When this day is nearly eiding,
And the great red sun descending,
Marks the West with colors blending
Like the glorious fairy lands,
Our way homeward we'll be wending
Like a shepherd from his tending.
Mother, father, has been sending
Loving letters from their haids.
We can see our mother sweeping,
And her eyes are red with weeping;
Down her cheeks the tears arc creep
img;
She is thinking of her boy.
May is near the doorway peeping,
Rob is in the cradle sleeping,
Tom is in the backyard leaping,
Playing with a Christmas toy.
Oh, you time, be swvift and fleeting,
For I'm longing for the greeting,
And I'm waiting for the meeting
With everyone today.
Like a dIrunm my heart is beating.
All my b)ody it is heating;
Oh, you time, be swvift and fleeting,
Don't you p)oke along that way.
